Answers (1)

Answer:  i. \frac{16}{81}   ii. \frac{20}{81}   iii. \frac{40}{81} 

Hint: Probability=\frac{No.\: of\: outcomes}{Total\: outcomes}

Given: Two balls are drawn at random with replacement from a box containing 10 black and 8 red balls.

Solution:

\begin{aligned} &\text { Total balls }=10 \text { black }+8 \text { red }=18 b a l l s \\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &P(\text { first red ball })=\frac{8}{18} \\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\left.P(\text { second red ball })=\frac{8}{18} \ldots \text { fas replacement is allowed }\right\} \\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &P(\text { first ball is black })=\frac{10}{18} \\ &P(\text { sec ond ball is black })=\frac{10}{18} \ldots\{\text { as replacement is allowed }\} \end{aligned}

i. \quad P( two red balls )=\frac{8}{18} \times \frac{8}{18}=\frac{16}{81}

ii. \quad \mathrm{P}( first \: ball\: is \: black \: and\: second \: is \: red )=\frac{10}{18} \times \frac{8}{18}=\frac{20}{81}

iii. \mathrm{P} (one of them is black and other is red) =\mathrm{P} (first ball is red \& second is black)

                                                                               +\mathrm{P}( first ball is black \& second is red)

                                                                            \begin{aligned} &=\frac{8}{18} \times \frac{10}{18}+\frac{10}{18} \times \frac{8}{18} \\ &=\frac{40}{81} \end{aligned}
